I am currently graduating from the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, and am looking for a job that can utilise my Systems Administration skills and my recently renewed programming skills. I much prefer to work with FreeBSD systems, I first learned systems administration on FreeBSD (2.x) and continue to keep my own colocated box running FreeBSD 5.x (it is 5.2, but I'm going to be upgrading it sometime next week). My work experience is primarily with pair Networks, Inc; which I worked for between 1997 and 1999, then again in 2001 until 2003. I left pair Networks, Inc to pursue my degree full time. In between 1999 and 2001, I worked for companies in Silicon Valley (most notably Inktomi Corporation). pair Networks, Inc is a web hosting provider, hosting thousands of accounts on solely FreeBSD machines. The Unix I have secondary experience on is Solaris, which I learned during my time in Silicon Valley. I graduate at the end of this week, and will be available for hire at the beginning of June. I am currently in Pittsburgh, PA, but I am willing to relocate for a position. My resume is at: http://www.gw3n.com/resume.html It is also attached below in text format. Thank you for any consideration, Gwendolyn R. Schmidt.

However, if you look at my sample code you'll see that few people write cleaner, tighter, better documented code. Despite my homely resume, I really do know what I'm doing and I have code samples to prove it. I have a solid background in Unix system administration (mostly FreeBSD) and scripting. I have worked all levels of technical support from tier-1 to NOC. I can effectively and comfortably communicate with people (both geeks and non-geeks) personally, through writing and public speaking. Some recent projects will show my scripting and documentation style: http://Business-PHP.com/opensource/ez-pine-gpg/ http://Business-PHP.com/opensource/gpg_encrypt/ Before entering he computer field full time, I did physical security work. This gives me a unique perspective that I've carried with me to the computer field. Working odd hours and holidays is no deterrent to me; I used to be an EMT and I'm familiar and comfortable with odd hours and on-call availability. I'm currently based in Asheville NC, but willing to go almost anywhere for work. Thank you for your time and attention, Atom Emet Business-PHP - Functionality. Security.
